The title of the Golden List is the pursuit of every reader.

Wen Mingyu thought that it would be good for him to pass the second-class jinshi examination, but he did not expect that he would be qualified to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the emperor personally ordered him to ask.

Finally, the rankings were released, and the specific rankings of the palace exams were released.

Of course, what everyone cares about most is who is the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 1.

Whether the champion is Wei Chen or Sanyuan Jidi, Wen Mingyu is not surprised at all, and is very happy for him. But he never thought that he would be second only to Wei Chen.

When he heard the good news, Wen Mingyu seemed to have been slapped on the head, as if falling into a dream, in a trance, as if he was stepping on cotton under his feet.

Before Mu Zhan said he was in the top five, he thought that he was just stuck in the fifth place, which made him very happy, but the final result was even more surprising, and even surprised that he asked Mu Zhan at the first time——"It won't be Did you arrange it for me?"

I wanted to give him a good ranking, but I felt that the champion was too dazzling, so I stepped back and gave him the second place.

When Mu Zhan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and crying, "Are you so unconfident in yourself? I said you have this level. Besides, I'm just hurting you by doing this kind of thing."

Wen Mingyu actually thinks he shouldn't be like this . Yes, I think so rationally, but emotionally, I feel that if it is Mu Zhan, it seems that it is not surprising to do such a thing.

As if he could read minds, Mu Zhan sighed deliberately, "What kind of person am I in your heart?"

Wen Mingyu immediately said obediently, "I was wrong, Your Majesty is the most selfless, fair and just, I want to misunderstand too much. That's it."

Mu Zhan supported his chin with one hand, while the other hand picked up a strand of Wen Mingyu's black hair to play with it, and said slowly, "That's not true, I did a lot of things I shouldn't have done. , I want you to sit on the dragon chair and eat snacks, and take the lop-eared rabbit to the court in a sleeve pocket, lied about being unwell, but was actually lazy and wanted to touch the rabbit..."

He said several things in succession, all of which were related to Wen Mingyu , when he was about to fry his hair, he stopped, "There are still many things that I want to do but shouldn't do, and I haven't had time to do it yet."

Wen Mingyu: "Then don't do it."

Mu Zhan smiled meaningfully, "But just thinking about it."

He always felt that it would not be what he wanted to hear, so Wen Mingyu wisely chose to ignore it.

"Don't you ask what's the matter?" Mu Zhan smiled.

Wen Mingyu shook his head decisively, "I don't want to know."

Before the announcement of the gold list, the honorees already knew the ranking.

Because on the next day after the results of the palace examination came out, a grand ceremony was held, that is, the grand ceremony of the emperor's announcement of the rank of Jinshi.

The first one is awarded the jinshi and the first one, the second one is awarded the jinshi background, and the third one is awarded the same jinshi background.

When the name was rolled, the official of Honglu Temple led Weichen, the champion, to kneel on the left on the imperial road, and then the second place. Wen Mingyu followed and knelt on the right on the imperial road, and then at Tanhua, Chu Shuli knelt on the left and back on the imperial road. .

The three people in the first class will roll their names three times, and then they will go to the next jinshi, and they will be the same jinshi, but they will only sing once, and they will not go to work.

This imperial examination can be said to be quite different. Among the first class, there is a female No. 1. This is something they never dared to imagine before. When the sage proposed to allow women to participate in the imperial examination, it caused quite a stir. I didn't expect that during the trial period, there were actually women standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and they were still the first!

Many officials were shocked and couldn't believe it.

The champion is still a child, so smart is sure, but can he be a man? In the future in officialdom, I don't know what will come out.

This can be seen at a glance, and it is difficult for some officials to accept it. However, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the first-rank senior officials standing at the front of the official queue were not the two of them, but the second place, because they vaguely knew Wen Mingyu's identity.

What's more ridiculous than the queen standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony as the second place, and being colleagues with them in the future?

At first they heard that the sage condoned the queen to study in Guozijian, and they didn't think so, it was just that the sage favored him. Anyway, it was next to the palace, so it was easy to hide it. These first-rank officials only knew about it later.

Later, when the queen took part in the scientific expedition, they scoffed, when they were playing? They felt that the queen was suspected of misfortune, making the tyrants become stunned, and they even allowed people to make mischief so far.

They all waited for the queen to fall off the list to see a joke, but they didn't expect that the queen finally came to the first and second place, which became the news of the second place. At this time, they realized that the empress was not fooling around at all, and the saint was not addicted to beauty, but that people were really talented and powerful.

That was the second place in the list. How many of the officials present came from the first grade and the first grade, and most of them were jinshi, who were born with the same jinshi. However, it's too late to say anything now, it's okay to do something during the scientific exam, but now that the results are out, we can't force the second place. Those who can become a first-rank official are all human beings, and there is no full confidence. How can they dare to fight with the sage and touch him under the sage's eyes. Even if you really want to do something, you are secretly fueling the flames and letting others do it first.

Mu Zhan sat on the dragon chair in the center, looked down, tried to restrain the officials and pretended to be calm, but still revealed a dazed expression of disbelief, all of which were collected in his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled silently. on.

After the ceremony, the Holy Master left first.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites held the coins in their hands, held them on cloud plates, and walked out of the Taihe Gate under the guard of honor. The civil and military officials followed the list one after another according to their grades. Finally, it was the champion who led the scholars out of the palace gate until the golden list was posted outside the Chang'an Gate. The audience left for a while.

After all these ceremonies were over, Wen Mingyu said goodbye to others before detouring back to the palace.

At this time, the weather was already hot, and Wen Mingyu was walking on the road with a thin layer of sweat oozing out from her forehead. Fortunately, it didn't take long for a chariot to ride and return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wen Mingyu was a little puzzled, why didn't he go back to Taiji Hall.

The palace servant replied respectfully, saying that it was summoned by the sage.

After nearly an hour, Wen Mingyu came back here and stepped into the hall door, but the scene inside was obviously completely different. The hall was empty, and there were no officials who were almost full just now. There are no palace servants, it is extraordinarily empty and quiet.

Only the slight sound of him stepping on the floor tiles. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is luxurious and spectacular. Even the bricks on the ground are very particular, black and shiny, like polished black jade. Because of the expensive cost, it is even called the golden brick.

Stepping on it is like stepping on something golden or jade.

But at this time, Wen Mingyu had no intention of paying attention to these. He looked up at the person sitting on the dragon chair, and asked in a familiar tone, "What's wrong?"

Mu Zhan got up, walked down the steps, and pulled Wen Mingyu walked up step by step together, and stood in front of the dragon chair.

"I want to congratulate you."

Wen Mingyu blinked her eyes, "...Thank you?" Mu Zhan smiled suddenly, and his eyes flickered with broken light, "Do you like this dragon chair?", I am afraid that I have been scared into a cold sweat, and plopped down to my knees. What the dragon chair represents, no one knows, isn't the holy man saying this to imply that he has the intention to usurp the throne?

But Wen Mingyu didn't think so, and he knew very well that Mu Zhan had absolutely no meaning in asking him, saying that it was a dragon chair, he really just said the dragon chair. So, he also looked at it from the perspective of the chair.

The gold-painted dragon, with its intricate and fine carvings, is magnificent and majestic. It is completely a work of art and should be collected in a museum.

So, Wen Mingyu nodded and said, "It's beautiful, I like it."

I still thought in my heart that I sat so casually during the palace examination. This is the emperor's special seat.

Mu Zhan's low and hoarse voice sounded beside his ear, "I like it too."

Then, Wen Mingyu was pressed and sat on the dragon chair, but Mu Zhan did not sit down, but stood in front of him, with his hands on the dragon-patterned armrest, leaning over slightly, the shadow shrouded, almost his whole Everyone is in their arms, such a height difference reveals an indescribable sense of aggression.

Wen Mingyu had a bad premonition, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Zhan stretched out his hand to support the back of his head, leaned over and kissed him, tenderly and meticulously, as if he was slowly tasting a dish Precious delicacies.

Wen Mingyu raised her head, the back of her neck was gently rubbed, causing a tingling sensation, her face flushed, and she felt inexplicably hot.

Mu Zhan kissed for a while, and then parted slightly, but still rubbed his wet lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "You didn't realize that the pheromone on your body has become thicker?"

Wen Mingyu was stunned, It was really dull until I was reminded to realize that he felt hot, not because of the weather, but because of his fever period.

Mu Zhan pressed him on the dragon chair, Wen Mingyu's lips slightly opened and he exhaled a warm breath, the fruity fragrance almost spread and filled the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, forcing Mu Zhan's eyes to turn red.

The crisp and small bells rang in the empty hall for a long time.

Wen Mingyu stretched his arms around Mu Zhan's neck and looked down the steps through his shoulders. There was no one there, but he could easily remember the grand occasion of the ceremony just now. It was only over an hour later, but he was now on the dragon chair. ... His face was hot and hot, and he couldn't help lowering his head and burying his face on the side of Mu Zhan's neck, hiding himself.

Mu Zhan noticed his movement, tilted his head slightly, the corner of his eyes swept across the corner of his eye, and quickly understood what was wrong with him, then he laughed softly, and said something in his ear, but he was revengeful. I took a bite and was biting my face.

As a result, for the next two days, Mu Zhan would have to wear this tooth mark and walk around to deal with political affairs. Fortunately, it happened to be Xiu Mu on one day, and there was no need to go to court on the other day. There were not many people who could see Long Yan, otherwise they would not know what kind of rumors would spread.

Wen Mingyu saw the obvious round tooth mark on Mu Zhan's face, and was a little annoyed and regretful, but when he asked him to apologize, he couldn't say it at all, who asked Mu Zhan to say...

Wen Mingyu felt that Mu Zhan deserved to find it by himself.

He silently looked away, pretending he couldn't see it, and it had nothing to do with me.

When Zhao Dequan noticed the bite marks on the Sage's face for the first time, he was shocked, and then he hurriedly pretended not to know, for fear of angering the Sage. After leaving such an obvious trace, I don't feel angry, on the contrary - quite happy?

The Sacred Heart is really complicated and unpredictable...

The first grade and the first will be awarded by the emperor to the Hanlin Academy for editing and editing. Jinshi will not be awarded directly, but must take the imperial examination. Young and talented candidates who have passed the imperial examination will be admitted to the Shuchang Hall as Shuji, and will be assessed three years later. Those with excellent results will be awarded the Hanlin Academy for review. , called the scatter.

Shao Yan and Ye Xu passed the imperial examination and were selected by the emperor himself to appoint Hanlin and became Shuji Shi. Although he didn't reach the first place, Shao Yan did not feel depressed because of this. He was very stable, but he found his own shortcomings and the gap with others, and worked harder to improve. Moreover, Shujishi is equivalent to the official reserve, and many high-ranking officials are from Shujishi.

Wen Mingyu, Wei Chen and Chu Shuli became Hanlin officials directly, responsible for drafting official edicts, compiling historical books, and preaching sutras. The official position looks small, but the Hanlin Academy is not an ordinary department, but a real cadre reserve base.

Hanlin is the emperor's close minister, and his position is very important. He often deals with the emperor and important ministers in the court. The accumulated experience and resources are all extraordinary. The promotion speed is fast. After three years, he will be eliminated by rotation, and then the next batch of new scholars will come in. They are all elites. elite in.

In general, Wei Chen was written by Hanlin, Wen Mingyu and Chu Shuli were editors of Hanlin, and Shao Yan and Ye Xu became Shuji. Although they were in different positions, because they were both close ministers of the emperor, their work also included coincide. So even after graduating from Guozijian, they still meet each other from time to time and become department colleagues.

After the official start of work, of course there will be some discomfort at first, but if you work hard, you can quickly integrate into the environment, and others will see your seriousness.

Although Wen Mingyu and Mu Zhan have a special relationship, they are both public and private people. When they work, they will enter the state they should be in, and will not bring their private affairs to the public.

However, it is not without any omissions.

For example, Wei Chen, who wrote for Hanlin Xiu, had the responsibility of recording the emperor's words and deeds. His brain circuit is different from others. He will be in awe of Mu Zhan, but he is very persistent in completing his work, not as cautious as others.

He honestly wrote in his daily note that within an hour, the saint looked at Wen Bianxiu thirty-seven times, laughed five times, lost his mind twice, and even tried to grab the other party's sleeve when Wen Bianxiu passed by. . The last sentence, he still pen and ink, seems to hesitate whether to delete it, after all, it didn't happen, just almost did.

At the end, Wei Chen handed the living note to Mu Zhan to read. This is the basic material for composing the history of the country, and it is still the emperor's daily behavior. In a sense, it is also convenient for the Holy One to introspect.

Mu Zhan took a look at it, couldn't hold back, raised his lips and smiled, "You wrote carefully."

Wei Chen nodded, a little proud, "This is the responsibility of Wei Chen."

"The above times are all Is it true? Accurate?"

Of course Wei Chen couldn't accept that he was questioned, and he quickly said, "Go back to Your Majesty, it is absolutely accurate, Wei Chen has never forgotten it since he was a child, this kind of thing can't go wrong."

Mu Zhan looked down with a smile. , has never been so serious about living notes.

Wei Chen asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, and what needs to be changed?"

Mu Zhan shook his head and smiled: "It's well written, there are no problems, you can record it as it is, but you have to show it to you."

Wei Chen asked. Chen immediately understood. He had also thought before that some of the content he had written would be deleted, and the Sage would not allow it to be written, but he was a bit obsessive-compulsive and could not record under his duties, and he would be upset, but now it seems that the Sage has allowed it, just Later, some of the content will be removed and owned.

Wei Chen finally felt at ease, and felt that Sheng Shang was a reasonable person, but fortunately he didn't let him hold back.

However, Wen Mingyu didn't think so.

Because the work in charge was not the same, Wen Mingyu didn't find it at first, but then accidentally saw the living note written by Wei Chen...

Wen Mingyu: "...!!!"

His face suddenly changed, and he turned to look for Mu Cham.

In a corner with no one, the two stood very close, completely different from the unfamiliar superior-subordinate relationship in front of others, Wen Mingyu dared to speak rudely to Mu Zhan, and even taught the emperor a lesson.

"How can you let Wei Chen write... write those contents?!"

"Why not? Just stating the facts."

"How old is he?"

"You can get married in three years, not too small. There's nothing indescribable, isn't it?"

Mu Zhan smiled half-smilingly: "Or, do you think there will be?"

Wen Mingyu had itchy teeth and wanted to hit the dog again.

Mu Zhan stretched out his hand to smooth his hair, rubbed his face, and said with a smile: "If you go on, maybe you really have it."

Wen Mingyu was stunned for a moment, followed his line of sight, and found that behind the pillar, Wei Wei Chen stuck out a small head, still holding a pen and daily notes in his hand, and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, can this be recorded?"

Mu Zhan smiled and was about to speak, but Wen Mingyu interrupted first, and said decisively: " No!"

Wei Chen immediately lowered his head like a wilted flower, quite disappointed.

Wen Mingyu walked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "These are small things, you should do important national affairs."

Wei Chen said seriously: "But this is one of my current duties."

Wen Mingyu shook his head without hesitation, and said solemnly: "You still have to draft the ceremony manuscript, edict and confidential documents, don't you? Go, time waits for no one, when you record these, others have secretly worked hard and surpassed you. ." What

Wei Chen cared about most was being the smartest one in the circle. Hearing this, he frowned, "That's impossible."
